I am really surprised this didn't kick up

Hmm... I get what he is saying. I already have my frame connectors in, tho. I wonder if anyone who daily's their car has experienced any real world negative effects.

@72bluNblu or @TrailBeast ??

One of the best things I have done to my car, and especially when the oversized torsion bars, poly bushings and stiffer shocks went in.

I have always wondered why those that add frame connectors don't stiffen the front section.The connectors are usually applied but nothing is reinforced from the crossmember forward which contains a tremendous amount of weight with the front of the vehicle and all the engine ,suspension, tires etc...maybe 40% of the whole vehicle?

That is exactly why some add the front supports from the firewall across the top of the shock towers and down to the frame rails.
I have seriously considered adding these to my daily driver because of all the uneven surfaces and dips in the roads I drive.
If you add frame connectors, stiffer bars and shocks where is all that torque going now? (through the inner fenders, fenders and firewall)

When I made my connectors I added a 1/4 plate to the front bottom end that ties into the rear section of the front frame rail where the torsion bars cross member meets it.
It's not much I'm sure, but at least some of the load is transferred directly to the front section instead of counting on the cross member to transfer it all.
